North American World Pro Trials Results
Most (all?) of the Abu Dhabi Pro Trials are over. Although, the organizers have expanded to add a White/Blue Female Absolute, we are still waiting on them to join the 21st century and add more weight classes for the women and possibly to even split the Purple/Brown/Black division into two or three divisions.

2011: The Year of the Woman in BJJ
From the article by Jen Flannery on The Fightworks Podcast.
We may one day look back and say that 2011 was the beginning of a new era in women’s Jiu-Jitsu. A record number of female competitors at the 2011 world championships in Long Beach (a 30% increase over the previous year) is only one of many reasons why.

Jiu-Jitsu in Hijab…Female Competitors at the Abu Dhabi Pro
[caption id="attachment_806" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="Hijab"]
[/caption]It’s easy for those of us ladies training BJJ in the “Western” or “Developed” (or whatever the current politically correct term is for our society) to get frustrated at a lack of support or training partners for females. And we are correct to be so in many cases, but those ladies coming out to compete at the Abu Dhabi Pro this weekend in hijab (head covering worn by Muslim women) under their gis, are the true barrier breakers. In a society where women are not often allowed/encouraged to participate in sport, especially a combative sport, these ladies were out on the mats representing themselves and their culture well, paving the way for more to follow in their footsteps.

Brown/Black Belt Ladies Pan Am Recap and Results
[caption id="attachment_757" align="alignright" width="300" caption="2011 IBJJF Pan Am Venue"]
[/caption]Every year the ladies make a bigger and bigger splash at the IBJJF tournaments. The matches become more even and exciting as the years go by and the ladies become more and more technical at the highest levels of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
It definitely shows the growth in the sport worldwide when a company like Budovideos is streaming all the matches live on the internet. It is rumored that 60,000 people logged in on Saturday to watch. They only show one or two matches at a time, but the commentators try to let you know what’s happening on the other mats. My only complaint is their lack of knowledge of the female fighters. It’s appalling to me that they didn’t really know who Hannette Staack was. SHE’S A THREE TIME ADCC GOLD MEDALIST… They have obviously not done their homework when it comes to the ladies. But, I am excited to report on the divisions that I was able to witness.
